Buttonwood Farm Winery 2013 Estate Sauvignon Blanc, 'Zingy' has a pale green-gold color almost glistens in the glass and even before a swirl, the bouquet of passion fruit, key lime, sweet pea, gooseberry and a reminder of a fresh sea breeze leap from the glass.

Dark reddish purple color in the glass. A dark-fruited wine with aromas and flavors of plum, black currant and blackberry with an earthy and brown spice underpinning. Hints of grilled mushroom and dried herbs.

Aromas of dark berry and cherry accented by hints of floral and mineral tones. The flavor profile has a core of dark berry and dark cherry with hints of earth and brown spices, backed by a smooth, silky and long finish.

Calzada Ridge Viognier: Peach skin, with honey and an undercurrent of minerality on the nose, makes this viognier immediately intriguing. Strongly flavored, this one is not from the school of wimpy white wines. Peach, apricot and honeysuckle all figure in the upfront flavor mix but it also has a fascinating brewed- and-steeped tea character as well as a waxy semillon-type component on the finish. A scintillating richness, like a deep vein of gold, runs throughout the entire length of this viognier, which ends on a crisp, acidic note.
